How many zeros in a billion?

Question

How many zeros in a billion?

Answer

Nine in the U.S. and the scientific community, where a billion is a thousand million.brbrIn the U.K. and other European countries, a billioin is computed as a million million, and has zeros. brbr quotThe system used in the U.S. is not as logical as that used in other countries like Great Britain, France, and Germany. In these other countries, a billion bi meaning two has twice as many zeros as a million, and a trillion tri meaning three has three times as many zeros as a million, etc. But the scientific community seems to use the American system.quotbrbrSo, it depends on where youre coming from, so to speak.brhttpwww.jimloy.commathbillion.htma
